Precautions for Canakinumab
Patients should be aware of the precautions for Canakinumab to avoid possible risks:
Severe infections
Canakinumab can inhibit part of the function of the immune system, reduce the patient's resistance to infections, and may increase the risk of severe or even fatal infections in patients. During the use of Canakinumab, patients should avoid close contact with known infected persons.
Patients with active infections or a history of infections should use Canakinumab with caution. If patients experience infection symptoms such as fever, chills, cough, shortness of breath, diarrhea, or skin ulcers, they should seek medical attention in time and inform the doctor that they are using Canakinumab.
Immunosuppression
Canakinumab reduces inflammation and immune responses by inhibiting the activity of interleukin-1 (IL-1), which can also reduce the overall function of the immune system, possibly increasing the patient's susceptibility to infections, including bacterial and viral infections.
Long-term use of immunosuppressive drugs may increase the risk of malignant diseases. Patients should have regular physical examinations during the use of Canakinumab.
Warm reminder: Before using Canakinumab, patients must consult a doctor to understand the usage of the drug and possible risks. When using Canakinumab, it is necessary to strictly follow the doctor's advice and precautions, and seek medical treatment in time for any problems.
